During fermentation, a reaction between acids and alcohol create the yeast esters that are responsible for the fruity notes in a Hefeweizen, while phenol compounds create the style’s signature clove-like notes.

“Hefe” refers to the yeast held in suspension giving Hefeweizens their cloudy appearance, while “weizen” means wheat, the other key ingredient to creating this light style with a full mouth-feel.
